1.1 General description.
A buffer PSU intended for uninterrupted supply to devices that require stabilised voltage of 12 V DC (+/-
15%). The PSU provides voltage of U=13,8 V DC with output current of I=3A + 0,5A for battery charging. In case
of power decay, a battery back-up is activated immediately. The PSU is constructed based on the switch mode
PSU, with high energy efficiency. The PSU is housed in a metal enclosure (colour RAL 9003) which can
accommodate a 17Ah/12V battery. A micro switch indicates door opening (front cover).
During normal operation, the total current drawn by the equipment may not exceed I = 3A.
Maximum battery charging current: 0.5 A. Total device current + battery: 3.5 A max.

2. Installation.
2.1 Requirements.
The buffer PSU shall be mounted by a qualified installer with appropriate permissions and qualifications for
230V/AC installations and low-voltage installations (required and necessary for a given country). The device shall
be mounted in confined spaces, according to the environment class II, with normal air humidity (RH=90% max.
without condensation) and the temperature from -10°C to +40°C. The PSU shall work in a vertical positi on that
guarantees sufficient convectional air-flow through ventilating holes of the enclosure.
Before installation, prepare a PSU load balance. During normal operation, the total current drawn
by the device may not exceed I = 3A. Maximum battery charge current: 0.5 A. Total device current +
battery: 3.5 A max.
As the PSU is designed for a continuous operation and is not equipped with a power-switch, therefore an
appropriate overload protection shall be guaranteed in the power supply circuit. Moreover, the user shall be
informed about the method of unplugging (usually through assigning an appropriate fuse in the fuse-box). The
electrical system shall follow valid standards and regulations.
.
2.2 Installation procedure.
1. Before installation, cut off the voltage in the 230V power-supply circuit.
2. Mount the PSU in a selected location and connect the wires.
3. Connect the power cables (~230Vac) to L-N clips of the PSU. Connect the ground wire to the clip marked by the
earth symbol PE. Use a three-core cable (with a yellow and green PE protection wire) to make the connection.
Lead the cables to the appropriate clips through the insulating bushing of the connection board.
The shock protection circuit shall be performed with a particular care, i.e. the yellow and
green wire coat of the power cable shall stick to one side of the terminal - marked with
‘‘symbol on the PSU enclosure. Operation of the PSU without the properly made and
fully operational shock protection circuit is UNACCEPTABLE! It can cause a device
failure or an electric shock.
4. Connect the receivers’ cables to the terminals V+ (+), V-(-) of the PSU module.
5. Connect the power (~230V)
6. Connect the battery (mind the colours):
- battery output (+V): BAT+ cable / red,
- battery output (0V): BAT – cable / GND / black.
7. Check the PSU operation indicator: green LED.
8. Check the PSU output voltage:
- the PSU voltage without load should amount to U=13.8V DC.
9. After installing and checking proper working, the enclosure can be closed.
3. Operating status indication.
3.1 LED indication of operating status.
The is equipped with two diodes on the front panel:

7
Moreover, the PSU is equipped with 3LEDs on the PCB board:
- red LED (Fig.2, element 1) normal status (AC power): permanently illuminated. AC power absence is
indicated by the AC diode going out.
Caution! LED indicates power absence if the outage lasts >10s.
- green LED (Fig.2, element 2) indicates DC power at the PSU output. Under normal status the diode is
permanently illuminated. In case of a short circuit or an overload, the diode is off.
- green LED (Fig.2, element 3) indicates battery voltage level. Under normal status (U
BAT
> 11,5V) the diode is
permanently illuminated. In case of decrease of battery voltage (U
BAT
< 11,5V) the diode is off.
3.2 Technical outputs
The PSU has indication outputs:
FAC - absence of AC supply output: - OC type output that indicates AC power loss. Under normal status,
with 230V AC supply, the output is connected to ground (L level – 0V). In case of power loss, the PSU will
switch the output into high impedance state hi-Z after approx. 10s.
FAC - absence of AC supply output: - relay output indicating the absence of AC supply. In case of power
loss, the PSU module will switch the relay contacts after approx. 10 seconds.
CAUTION! In Fig.2. the contact set in the potential-free status corresponds to a state with no AC
power (AC power failure).
FPS – technical output indicating absence of DC voltage at the PSU: OC type output indicating the PSU
failure. In normal state (during correct operation) the output is connected to ground (L level – 0V). In case
of absence of DC voltage at the output (e.g. short circuit), the output is switched into high impedance state
– hi-Z.
FLB – technical output indicating battery voltage: OC type output. Under normal status (U
BAT
> 11,5V) the
output is connected to ground (L level – 0V). In case of decrease of battery voltage (U
BAT
< 11,5V) the
output is switched into high impedance state – hi-Z.
Fig. 4. Electrical diagram of OC outputs.
4. Operation and use.
4.1 Overload or short circuit of the PSU output (SCP on)
In case of overload, the output voltage is automatically shut off, and so is the LED indicator. The restoration
of the voltage takes place immediately after the failure (overload) is over.
4.2 Battery-assisted operation.
In case of a main power outage, the device is immediately switched into a battery-assisted operation.
The PSU is equipped with the discharged battery disconnection system. During the
battery-assisted operation, reducing voltage below 9,5V at the battery terminals will cause
battery disconnection.

4.3 Maintenance.
Any and all maintenance operations may be performed following the disconnection of the PSU from the
power supply network. The PSU does not require performing any specific maintenance measures, however, in
case of significant dust rate, its interior is recommended to be cleaned with compressed air. In case of fuse
replacement, use a replacement of the same parameters.
WEEE MARK
According to the EU WEE Directive – It is required not to dispose of electric or
electronic waste as unsorted municipal waste and to collect such WEEE separately.
Notice: The power supply unit is adapted for a sealed lead-acid battery (SLA). After the operation period it must not be disposed of but
recycled according to the applicable law.
